"Lady Chatterley" is a 1993 BBC TV movie. It is an adaption of D. H. Lawrence's novel "Lady Chatterley's Lover". A young woman's husband returns wounded after the first world war. Facing a life with a husband now incapable of sexual activity she begins an affair with the groundskeeper. The film reflect's Lawrence's focus not only on casting away sexual taboos but also the examination of the class system prevalent in early twentieth century Britain.

The film's opening credits state it is based on the "novels" by D.H. Lawrence. As the novel existed in three separate complete versions, this may mean the screenplay borrows material from all three versions of the novel. The first two versions are entitled "The First Lady Chattlerley" and "John Thomas and Lady Jane". There are significant differences in plot and characterization between the three versions.
